Description

2,6-Dimethoxybenzoic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula of C9H8O4. It belongs to the group of sesquiterpene lactones and has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. 2,6-Dimethoxybenzoic acid exhibits a carboxylate reaction mechanism that can be activated by an enzyme, curculigoside, which hydrolyzes the ester bond in 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid. The reaction mechanism involves the group p2 (COOH) on 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid reacting with an alcohol on curculigoside to form an ester and protocatechuic acid. The dianthus caryophyllus plant produces 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid as a byproduct of its synthesis of protocatechuic acid. This compound is chemically studied using solid phase microextraction
